I am the proud owner of a 2010 CTS-V Sedan in White Diamond with Recaros. When I went looking for this vehicle last fall the stipulations were it must be a sedan, 6 speed Manual, Recaros and no black ext/int (we live in s fl). I found it pretty hard to find a 6 speed manual anywhere and was wondering what percentage are 6 speeds and does a manual transmission increase or decrease the value of the car? Thanks

Re: How many 2009-2013 V's are 6 speeds?

They're all six speeds, just not all manuals. I didn't want to say it, but if I don't, somebody else will.

Manuals are quite rare...mine is a six speed manual wagon that I had to order from the factory to get exactly what I wanted.

Re: How many 2009-2013 V's are 6 speeds?

The statistic that's been posted in previous threads is that about 1 in 6 or about 15% of second-gen CTS-Vs have manual transmissions. I don't recall what the estimates are on the total number of CTS-Vs produced.

But they're going to build Vs for another year, so numbers will change.
